The Oscar-winning actress has tightened up her red carpet grooming regimen. Here’s how you can, too!

Yesterday morning, when the Oscar nominations were announced, I was so pleased to see Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique looking particularly lovely in her gorgeous dress with a fabulous hair and makeup look. Even more fabulous: her legs! She decided to shave for the event! Bravo, mama! Want to “get the look” for winter? Read on!

Ladies, take a page from Mo’Nique’s book: just because it’s the dead of winter doesn’t mean that you can slack on your grooming regimen. Because, trust me, on that fourth day when you could almost braid the hair on your legs, something will happen where you need to get into a dress and/or some hottie is going to check you out and see you’re growing a national forest south of your knees. Avoid the situation by keeping that situation under control.

If you check out the gallery below, there are literally TONS of products out there on the market that can get rid of unwanted body hair within mere minutes, some while you’re doing other things, like bathing. Razors, depilatories, waxing – there are so many options for smooth, touchable skin that going shaggy is really unacceptable.

Way to go, Mo’Nique, for tightening up that grooming regimen! Let that serve as a lesson for all of us.

How long will you let that situation go before you take some hair removal action? Spill it in the poll below.
